Learning with edutainment by ZooMoo TV + Giveaway!

When you become a parent to a toddler, your vocabulary blossoms with a myriad of simple everyday words to pair with your little one!

Vera says “eyes!!” while pointing to the animals. Haha!

Communication with the curious one (or little imitator!) brings a whole load of fun, especially when she can start responding to what you say and sometimes giving you the darnest response to put you in a fit of laughter!

Besides the things around you or your home, a new set of words that will surely make up your bub’s language bank would be animals. And oh what fun when they can differentiate one from the other, while mimicking the noises they make!

And because flash cards are usually one dimensional (I recently learned about animal 4D flash cards from mummy Jolin! How cool is that!), and going to the zoo regularly just doesn’t quite cut it, an educational animal show seems to sit nicely in the middle to offer a varied type of engagement with the child.

But of course, we are not suggesting sitting your kids down in front of the telly for long hours, but we fully understand that sometimes, TV time equates to time for adults to clean the house, do the laundry, iron that pile of clothes, cook a decent meal, catch up on work or even steal some winks – we know because we’ve been there and done that!

I used to fight the idea of introducing TV to Vera and my key concern was her getting hooked and her eyesight. Being a 4-eyed kid since I was 7 years old certainly has given me enough experience with bad eye habits and eye health!

A less guilty way is to introduce educational shows as part of their media diet with moderate time glued to that square box, and it’s all about choices when it comes to selecting the programs!

We were recently gifted with a fun pack courtesy of ZooMoo Asia, which includes a series of animal characters, videos, activity book and even an app to keep older kids interested!

Saying “cheese” with my ZooMoo gift pack, and THANK YOU!! :D

What is ZooMoo?

As ZooMoo shares, “ZooMoo is a collaboration between world renowned filmmakers and early childhood educational experts. Hundreds of shows combine spectacular wildlife footage with a range of puppets, animations and strong narration to create a unique experience for little viewers.”

And by “little viewers”, they are referring to preschoolers and above. Well, in this case, Vera may seem slightly “underaged” but hey, researching about the available resources earlier wouldn’t hurt any one, right? :P

What’s fun about ZooMoo?

The ZooMoo library contains over 1,500 self-contained shows to keep your children intrigued and entertained. Feel free to watch some of the videos over here.

As the brainchild of some of the world’s foremost wildlife filmmakers and world renowned early childhood educationalists from the University of Otago, New Zealand’s premier university, ZooMoo is slated to be a catalyst for learning that engages both children and their parents.

Simply download it for FREE on iTunes or Google Play Store, and get ready to be enthralled by the bursts of content prepared for kids!

With the ZooMoo cards, your kids can interact by feeding those animals too!Feed, clean and create buddies for your ZooMoo animals!
